# 8 Pick Overall ???

Postby jweb2244 » Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:19 pm

12 team Standard 5 x 5 Roto

Assuming top seven are Hanley, Pujolz, Wright, Reyes, Miggy, Sizemore, Braun, who would you choose among Rollins, Utley, Howard, Lincecum or Santana...

...and who would you target at next pick (# 17)?

Thanks in advance.

I would go with Utley or Tex. Because Utley has shown little to no ill effects this Spring on his hip, he gets the edge here.

I would probably go with Utley because of position scarcity, although it's hard to go wrong with whoever you end up with

please help

I have a pretty serious man-crush on J Rollins so I would probably take him, but you A LOT of power taking him first. Trust me. ;-)

Utley would be my choice. Position scarcity and he can flat out rake :)

Definitely go Utley or Rollins...depends on which you think is more scarce.

Thanks for the help. I was seriously considering one of the SP's. Would that be a mistake?

In my opinion I would not take a pitcher in the first round.

I drafted #9 and took Utley.
